Snipback – record the last 30 seconds, even when you’re not

Most of our phones come with built-in audio recording options for us to use however we want. They’re generally more functional than they are sneaky. Snipback is the voice recorder for people who need to be a little more subtle in their lives.

The key feature on this app that would make you use it over your classic recording option is that it’s always listening so you don’t have to plan to record. Let’s say you’re talking to your roommate and they say they’re going to take out the garbage in the morning. You’re probably not recording that conversation but with this app, you can save the last 30 seconds of audio even when you’re not purposely recording. No more “I never said that” moments from that chore dodging jerk.

It also works just as a normal voice recorder with noise reduction filters and set recording durations. It’s a handy app to have around if you’re prone to finding yourself in situations that call for a little more discretion. Snipback is a free app for Android devices.
